I am in favor of trimming down the field to less teams. 4 division winners and one wild card from would be better IMO.
Rams and Steelers. Rams were better than the Eagles and were surging. Titans nearly missed the playoffs had the Steelers won in week 17 and they were clearly one of the best teams.
Teams without winning records making the playoffs won't make the playoffs better.
Why not just go to 20 team playoff format? We will be almost as half the teams getting in if this is approved. It cheapens the regular season and makes the playoffs less interesting IMO.
So then make it based off conference record and get rid of divions. Bc thats what you are arguing. Nearly every year you have some 8 and 8 divion winner team making the playoffs. We've even had 7 and 9 make it before. Does that make the playoffs better?
One extra team from each conference is fine. Like Hysterical said, Eagles were not better than the Rams and the Titans almost missed the playoffs.

How does seven teams per conference make the playoffs will work?

Ohh, I see. That's a horrible idea. Then just make it 8 teams per conference and just two pre session games. Joint practices are more favored by the teams anyway.Originally posted by Hysterikal:Originally posted by Mayor:How does seven teams per conference make the playoffs will work?

Well I like the idea of only the #1 seed gets rewarded. And wildcard weekend will have non stop football all Saturday and Sunday. The extra regular season game is dumb imo

Now 8 teams would really water it down. No ty. Just 1 team per conference getting the bye week is great as well. The top team from each conference should get rewarded with something no other team can get.
Nfl overall is in real good shape talent wise, 7 team per conference is perfect. Give it a couple years where one these 3rd WC teams wins a SB and people will realize that 7 is perfect. Its not the NBA where the 7 or 8 seed cant even beat the 1 or 2 seeds, let alone win a championship.
